What a beauty all the specs for a sandman before they badged them as such. Can't Wait to see it finished love green
HZ Jasmine Yellow Windowless Sandman, now being driven everywhere and is finished!
HZ Madeira Red Windowless sandman now Sold to Bigrob
HX Mandarin Red Sandman Ute finished, and club registered
1979 HZ malachite windowless van with 308 5spd, all chromed up and shiny finished and named "The Player"

Cool... very rare combination. We have listed others like this here and usually the plates are from the Brisbane plant. I dont think you could order this normally but who knows what the dealer got away with. This sort of demand might of driven the marketing towards the Sandman concept.
Did it have a seat seperator and a bench seat shift on the floor?

hi mate, I swapped it as a motorless rolling shell for a motorless HX De Ville roller, complete, in early 2009, so not sure about seat seperator or original shifter, have a stock original 253, ww stromberg, M20 in it now with the 3.08 it arrived with, thanks

thanks, you dont find HQ s with floors and body as straight as this one is, the guy before the one I got it off stripped it for parts!!!!

Nice find good on you have fun!!!! keep us posted with pics.
You couldn't get a seat separator with floor shift, and you couldn't get a console in Belmont either outside of XX7 or XV2. So it'd just be buckets with rubber in between. You'd be surprised how many V8 4spd HQ vans there were before XX7 became available. The only thing rare about this one is the metallic paint.

Alway's a pleasure to see vehicles saved.
